Setting- when Brian ended up on the ground in 409… this story was requested by Lia Walker =)

I guess I underestimated my own strength, maybe I overestimated his. But somehow, Brian ended up on the ground, unconscious, and it was all my fault. I didn't know what to do, and I gulped in the air and tried to think clearly. I got him to the bed, a feat of its own, considering Brians much larger frame. But one thing I did noticed is how light Brian actually was. Once I got him to the bed I made sure he was warm. Shit. What was I going to do when he woke up? Say… "Sorry Brian, but I just knocked you out" even in my head that sounds dumb. Brian was stirring. Well at least he was alive. "Sunshine?" he said weakly. "Brian" my voice cracked. "What are you doing? I can take care of myself!" he was stubborn, even if he was weak. "Brian" I said strongly. "I will always be here for you! Even if you don't want me to be!" he looked at me sadly. "I know… I just thought that…" "That I would leave because you have one ball! Believe me Mr. Kinney I've had better reasons, plenty of them!" I said loudly. He smirked when I said Mr. Kinney. "And don't flash that fucking Kinney smirk at me! Now eat some fucking chicken soup!" I said. I was glad he was ok though.
He had finally fallen asleep. He had had many nightmares and I had no idea how to handle them. Sure, he tried his hardest to hide them from me, but nobody is that good of an actor. I was pretending to sleep. I heard him take shallow breaths and try to calm down. He sat up quietly, so as not to wake me and took his head in him hands. He sniffed. I couldn't ignore it. "Brian?" I questioned. I sat up. "Go back to sleep" he said harshly. "Oh would you stop being so fucking stubborn!" I said. He looked shocked at my outburst, but I had to tell him. "When I had all those nightmares after the bashing…" my voice cracked, but I regained composure and kept going... "You sat there and held me, at least 5 times a night, until I fell asleep again. You would comfort me! Why don't you just let me comfort you!?" he looked at me with glistening eyes. "Sunshine… I'm scared!" he said quietly. "I know" I said. I pulled him closer to me and we laid down together. I pulled the covers over us and watched as a tear rolled down Brian's cheek. "You'll be alright" I whispered and we both drifted off to sleep.
